Mowing

Place the machine on the edge of the lawn, as

close to the power point as possible. Work away

from the power point. Then at right angles.

Position the cable to opposite side (already cut) at

the end of each turn.

When mowing do not allow the motor to la-

bour particularly in heavy conditions. When

the motor labours the speed of the motor

drops and you will hear a change in the motor sound,

when this occurs stop mowing, release the switch le-

ver and raise the height of cut. Failure to do so

could damage the machine.

NOTE: The motor is protected by a safety cut out

which is activated when the blade becomes jammed

or if the motor is overloaded. When this occurs

stop, remove the plug from the power supply.

The safety cut out will only reset when the switch

lever 1 is released. Clear any obstruction and

wait for a few minutes for the safety cut out to re-

set before continuing to use the mower. At this

time do not operate the switch lever 1 as this will

prolong the reset time of the safety cut out. If the

mower cuts out again increase the height of cut

to reduce the load on the motor.

Maintenance

Stop, remove plug from the power supply

and remove the grassbox.

Note: To ensure long and reliable service, carry out

the following maintenance regularly.

Regularly check for obvious defects such as loose,

dislodged or damaged blade, loose fixings, and

worn or damaged components.

Check that covers and guards are undamaged and

correctly fitted. Carry out necessary maintenance or

repairs before using.

If the machine should happen to fail despite the care

taken in manufacture and testing, repair should be

carried out by an authorised customer service agent

for Bosch garden products.

For all correspondence and spare parts orders, al-

ways include the 10-digit part number (TYP) from

the nameplate of the machine!

Blade Maintenance

Stop, remove plug from the power supply

and remove the grassbox.

Turn the machine on its right side and inspect the

blade and fan; if blunt or damaged, replace.

Use the following procedure to remove and replace

the blade. Hold the blade 16 using gardening gloves

(not provided) use a spanner (not provided) to re-

move the blade bolt 15, blade washer 17, bevel

washer 18 and blade. Fit the bevel washer, blade,

blade washer and the blade bolt. Ensure that the

blade is the correct way up (so that this

can be seen located as in figure G) and tighten the

bolt firmly.

In the event of a blade becoming difficult to remove

or fit, insert a screwdriver into hole 19 to lock the

drive. Ensure the screwdriver is removed before at-

tempting to turn the machine on.
